Why should I believe you?

“If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then comeback and hit it again. Then hit it again-a tremendous whack!”

- Winston Churchill

Dear Candy:

Using evidence is an essential part of an effective presentation. Questions often in the mind of audience members, even if seldom asked, are "why would I listen to you?" "Why should I believe you?" "Who besides you says this?" When we need to convince others of our view, one of our primary tools is the use of evidence.
